Winter transfer window

Marcus Edwards has been linked with Everton and Palace in the last 48 hours. No chance that he comes here. Not even on loan.

 

Good thing they get paid good money to achieve these tasks isn't it haha. I'm confident if anybody can it's KS

 

I remember there being talks of him getting into the england squad just a couple years ago

 

I'd take Embolo as well like

 

Just to give an idea of the price we could be talking - think forest have dropped out now as they've moved on to better things

 

I personally think we may sign one or two for the 21's, we shall see.

 

You and me both.

 

It’s a really good point this mate. We’re all obviously excited about players like ELF or others who’ve been linked but if we don’t go up we more than likely don’t sign those players PLUS we potentially lose Jobe and others.

But in my opinion that’s a gamble we must take. There’s no easy way of getting promoted with the teams coming down being able to continually sell overinflated assets and reinvest, I think it’s very naive of people to think we can continually churn out £15m+ profits on players and sign improvements for a fraction of the price, thus improving season on season whilst losing our best players.

I think the club have been patient in our approach and we’re now in a position where we can shop in better markets, afford better players and also know we have very valuable assets we can cash in on if need be.

 

Been on this project for a while.

Hopefully this is what Romano was hinting at yesterday.

Be a massive upgrade on Roberts.

 

Beat me too it! He'd definitely fit RLB's criteria for a striker

 

I have a lot of trust in KS and the plan. However, the choice NOT to do something is within that scope too. And the choices the club makes may not be solely about the run-in. We're all getting excited about the Edwards link, but he's played 300 mins of football this season. How long do you reckon it would take for RLB to get him onto the pitch?

 

Got a feeling any deals will progress very fast as of today, not many more days to go

 

He is fit now, few training sessions and because of his ability he will be in quite fast

 

Think Le Fee only had about 300 mins in the league too mind. No idea about other comps like. You’d like to think training with a champions league club he’d be ready to hit the ground running

 

We absolutely should be doing that. Ideally a big, bruising central midfielder is in there.

 

So what you are saying is Dan Neil's agent has let him know Edwards is signing and that's made him sign his new contract as he is excited by the clubs vision? ​

 

Fabrizo Romano has history of reporting on Marcus Edwards in the past, nothing on that other French kid that’s linked.

defaintly think we will hear from him if there is anything concrete soon.

If he’s training on his own and not match fit then coming here where he’s just about guaranteed to play every game even just for the next six months would be more beneficial to him than trying to get in at Nottingham Forest who are obviously doing well at the minute but with a heavily bloated squad.

Still think it might be a stretch but the fact we managed to convince Le Fee here shows me that it’s not impossible by any stretch and would immediately be an upgrade on Patrick Roberts.

 

By jove I think you've cracked it!!

 

Last time we signed a player called Edwards in Jan it went very very well.
